Y'all talking about fast food workers not needing a raise...yeah it's all fun and games until your job is the one being automated or outsourced next

Almost half of a all jobs could be automated in the next 2 decades

What Jobs Will the Robots Take?

Fast food workers are unskilled that is why they are not paid good.
You can't demand 15$ when you can be replaced easily.

They already had those self checkout machines at target with the staff next to them looking dumb.

They hang around in case the machine fails. That's it.

You gone need a computer science masters degree to work in these stores when all the cashiers are gone.

Gone be fast food restaurants only employing 20 people throughout the week, and the manager gone have a ph.d in robotics ....:mjrobotpls:

The amount of money they going to spend on us cert brehs to maintain and fix this is going to be more than a 15hr employee :mjlol: . They should fire whoever made this decision
Not really. Probably have them shyts check quarterly. The issue isn't with corporate. It is with the franchises.
